Winnipeg Mothers Give Rh Negative Blood to Save Babies
Forty Winnipeg mothers aged 34 to 64 regularly donate Rh negative blood at a downtown Red Cross clinic. Their plasma helps about 90,000 Canadian women yearly, supplying antibodies that protect unborn babies from dangerous immune reactions. Each clinic visit yields enough blood for 270 doses, with donors paid 30 dollars per donation though money isn’t the main motivation.
